Camponotus vagus Queen with eggs and brood 5-10 workers (starter kit) (UK exclusive)
Camponotus vagus are some of the biggest ants Europe have to offer they usually nest under rocks/stones. They are very Polymorpic so workers differ in size by quiet some margin. A very Adventurous species for a bigger or an experienced keeper! You will be amazed by there sheer size. They are a lot rarer than most other camponotus species in europe and this is the first time we have stocked and manged to source them. The queen workers tend to have a sliver shine on their gaster
